Students will compare the size of each pair of shapes. They will color each shape according to the comparison.

Students will compare the lengths of three rectangles. They will write the number 1 in the rectangle that is the longest and the number 2 in the rectangle that is the shortest.

Through this reinforcement math activity students will identify a 2d shape vs. a 3d shape. Shapes included circles, spheres, squares, cubes, rectangles, pyramids, cylinders and cones. Students will also practice determining larger shapes vs. smaller shapes. They will get some practice telling which shape has more vertices than another. Essential questions are What is a shape? How can shapes be identified? What is an attribute? How do we use attributes to draw and compare shapes?
